In a candid conversation with hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, Aisha shares her journey from working on groundbreaking aerospace projects to leaving NASA to fulfill her passion for mentoring and entrepreneurship.
Aisha discusses the details of her job at NASA, where her research on small spacecraft eventually led to advancements in commercial flight efficiency. She describes the complexities of her role, including analyzing radar locations, traffic patterns, and weather conditions to develop simulations that optimize flight paths, minimize fuel consumption, and reduce emissions.
But Aisha's path took an unexpected turn when she realized a disconnection between her work and its perception by the youth in her community. Struck by their curiosity about her personal journey, especially as it diverged from traditional expectations, she decided to tackle this gap head-on. Motivated by a desire to normalize and make accessible the kind of success she achieved, Aisha set her sights on starting her own business - a venture aimed at empowering others to pursue their dreams in STEM.
Despite initial challenges, such as accessing funds and the lack of entrepreneurial experience, Aisha embarked on a two-year journey of self-education and networking, slowly building the foundation of her business. She opens up about her transitions, from giving up her apartment and job security to waking up earlier every day to learn about successful people's habits and mindsets.
Listening to Aisha's story, we uncover the resilience and determination needed to pivot from a secure engineering career to the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship. She highlights the importance of mentors who recognized her ambition and provided guidance, as well as her own relentless pursuit of learning through trial and error.
If you're dreaming big and looking for inspiration to make those dreams a reality, Aisha Bowe's story is a must-watch. Get ready to be motivated by her unwavering belief that with the right mindset and dedication, you too can craft a journey of success that breaks from the norm and makes an impact.
